How can this be? This place looks like magic and their food is really one of a kind. They also have the best team, they are very accommodating and polite.
I feel like I just got from Mexico, we went here last weekend and we had a wonderful time. Great tequila selection and authentic Mexican rice meals.
Authentic Mexican. Always busy and the house salsa is the best... if you like spicy!
BEST CHIPS N SALSA!!! – I love this place! I have to give praise to their HOT SALSA. The salsa of salsa's! Just order some beer with it and that's a meal in itself! ...and that's all I gotta say about that.
Great Mexican Food This is the most amazing Mexican restaurant. It is a little hole in the wall in West Portal but when you go inside they have all kinds of decorations and wall signs hanging up all over the entire restaurant. It is very small, a little on the expensive side for Mexican food, but definitely worth it. Their guacamole is the best and their carne asada burritos are the best. I recommend everyone should try eating here, the service is great and very friendly!
El Toreador restaurant El Toreador is tucked away in a quaint and friendly San Francisco neighborhood called West Portal. There is always a long line but it is worth the wait. Food is pretty good and the atmosphere is colorful and alive. Prices will not break your pocketbook.
Editorial Review – If you're not already knocked out by the initial shock of the blindingly colorful decor or the long wait lines that generally spill out the door, the huge plates of standard Mexican fare at this West Portal favorite will definitely get you.

The owner indirectly resisted without outright saying no, When I finally asked if he was telling me no, he said it was fine and brought a taco plate. Unfortunaley, it was kiddie-sizee, but I was charged for a regular size dish. This was the worst sevice I have ever ... read more
Watch out for insects and make sure you get your whole order.... – This used to be one of my favorite restaurants until I ordered take out and found a FLY in my enchiladas. Because I know the owner, I let it slide. Then we had take out again and after getting home realized the guac we PAID FOR was not in the bag. A month later we ordered out again and when I asked to have the guac we never received, I was told no can do. So much for customer loyalty and repeat visits. Apparently you have to call in immediately when something... read more
